I have learned a lot more about the FDNY since this visit, and have been back to cover their Street Fair that was part of the 150th FDNY Anniversary Program for this year

But here I was on my first visit to the Museum
Be a Firefighter at the NYC Fire Museum, For Kids & Adults of All Ages
Like a lot of other kids, I wanted to be a firefighter when I grew up (among other things).
I think I realized along the way that firefighting, while exciting, is also very stressful and dangerous and not everyone is cut out for it, to say the least. But the allure of it has always remained with me.
They also encourage you to put on firefighter gear and swing a wooden axe! (I posted it on Facebook and, of course, my friends got a big kick out of it, too.) Retired fireman John took my picture (above) and also shot a short video clip of me (below).
The museum is celebrating the 150-year anniversary of the NY Fire Department this year. They also have a lecture series there.

he Museum is located at 278 Spring Street in Soho in Manhattan— an interesting neighborhood and accessible by subway, especially the C train which stops next door. Admission is inexpensive.

It is not a really big place, but lots of fun. They also host children’s parties. I think the adults there are having as much, if not more, fun than the kids.
